Gun-Toting Cats

It was done with a couple of arm and hand sprites that are part of the character.  They move with the body and individually are offset, rotated, and scaled with a separate animation.

Bones and meshes weren't available to us back in 2.1, so this was a hack that we came up with.  It has a lot of visual limitations, but it worked out ok for this project.

Thanks.  It was written with GDScript.

Thanks.  This is good to hear.  We have been aiming our projects to support 32-bit systems with GLES2.  Our hope is to have things running nicely on the oldest drivers and hardware possible.

Thank you! I'm a little curious what kind of controller were you using? The game should be easier with the 360 aiming if you have analog sticks.

Thanks again for playing and making this video! :D

Thanks for this feedback.  That is very good to hear.   X)

I recall there are a few bugs that had to be left behind in this project, but they do appear only rarely.

Thanks for sharing the specs too.  It can be hard to know how these builds are running on Linux generally across the distros.

We are steadily working away at it, and thankfully frameworks like Godot exist.

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it so far.  XD  It will take some time, but a game will certainly appear.  Along the way we hope to have some partial releases for alpha/beta testing.

Thanks, we're glad you liked it.  We're steadily and quietly working away on an improved version.

Glad you enjoyed it, and sorry to hear about the controller issues.  Thanks for letting us know.

Unfortunately, this is only a gameplay prototype, and all our spare time is being invested on working on a full version.  I definitely would like to know more about the problem,  so at least it can be hammered out going forward if it still exists.  Maybe if it appears in the latest code and is similar enough, I can back port the fixes.

Is there a good place I can reach you?

Thank you very much! Glad you like the graphics! :D

Could you share with us your OS? So we can look into this problem.

Very glad to hear it! Thank you! :D

Thanks again! Your help is much appreciated!

Thank you! And thanks for playing and sharing! :D You're exactly right about it being Contra inspired. Glad you like it so far!

Hello!

Thanks for letting us know. And sorry that it doesn't work.

We don't have a Mac, so we can't test it ourselves, and so far haven't found anyone to work with back and forth to fix it. Sadly it seems for nowwe can't support Mac.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for giving the game a try!

Very nice! Some sharp shooting with the fusion blasts. Thanks for making this! :D

Wow, thanks for all this feedback, and taking the time to share it. Yes, there is quite a lot of work ahead of us. There is a bit of baggage from its origins as a Contra-themed game jam. We’ve extended from that, but going forward we’re going to be dropping the nostalgic mechanics. They’re too restrictive.

A lot of really good suggestions here. We are currently in the works of revamping the character movement system. Duck is getting dropped, and we plan on having an evasion move, as well as some wall climbing. Since, like you said, these are cats! The goal is to focus more on making them move nimbly with new environments to match.

The prototypes of these things may still be months ahead before they’re solid, but we were wondering if you might be interested in taking a look at them in closed testing when the time comes? We will need as much honest feedback as we can get to tune these things properly.
